After build 2331, whenever I use the quick refactor menu to create/move implementation, Visual Assist has started adding an extra 'a' character after the generated code.

I am using Visual Studio 2019 and ViEmu, but I'm pretty sure the issue still occurs if I disable ViEmu.

Can you please load the VA Snippet editor, via:

VA Options -> Suggestions -> Edit VA Snippets (button)

and set the "Type" pull down list to "Refactoring". This will show you the VA refactoring snippets that are used when you trigger these refactoring commands. Can you please select "Create Implementation" and see if there is an extra letter 'a' at the end?

Can you just double check that disabling ViEmu has no effect? From memory 'a' is an append command in Vi, so it would sort of make sense for this to appear for some reason.

Confirmed, but also, this happens in VS2017 and VS2019, but does not happen with an older version of VA. I am narrowing down when the change happened now, in case it is something we can address at our end.

I have put in a bug report for this, since it only happens with the last couple of builds of VA:

case=140155

I forgot to mention, the last build of VA I found without this problem is VA 2318.0, so if want to keep using ViEmu with VA, rolling back to this version for now is worth considering. You can download older versions of VA from this page:
